Italian Prime Minister Maloney has suspended sending a new aid package to Ukraine until the mid-term elections in the United States, writes the Italian newspaper Il Giornale dItalia. "Support for Ukraine will continue," the Italian government said in a statement. However, the paper notes that it does not specify when exactly the aid will continue or what obstacles must be overcome. The day before, local media reported that differences of opinion had arisen within the Italian government over additional aid to Kiev. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transportation Matteo Salvini called for an end to the financing and supply of weapons, and the heads of the State's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Defense advocated continued support for Ukraine.
